There was a place in Texas that smoked tailights for any car at the price of $140. But since a month or so ago thier site just said "site under construction" and now it doesn't even exist right now. The site was www.smokinlights.net. Its too bad cuz I was just gonna send them my tails. Hopefully they will be back online soon.

why in the world would you pay $140 for a set of tinted tails? Go buy a $10 can of VHT nightshades and do it yourself. Find VHT on summit.com. If you want the tails really dark i suggest a full can and a little more, then you can use some of the second can on your headlights. It is irresversible though, so be careful. If you do screw it up it shouldnt be anything a bit of wetsanding and elbow grease wont be able to fix.

i think you can get clear ones from a dealership or aftermarket store and spreay tint them. that way you can make them how ever dark or as light as you want. to dark and you will get pulled over.

that might give your tails a foggy look. if you were retinting them that would be ok but those things bug me for some reason.
